The Story Behind Proof: Women-Owned, Community-Driven Wellness Since 2016
Our Family-Founded Mission
Proof Hemp began as a family journey—born from a personal search for trustworthy, plant-based wellness options. In 2016, when a loved one faced a cancer diagnosis, we struggled to find a reliable CBD brand that was clean, effective, and affordable. That challenge inspired us to create our own—starting in California and staying true to our roots of compassion and integrity.
Compassionate, Women-Owned Leadership
As a women-owned CBD brand, Proof Hemp is guided by empathy, authenticity, and inclusivity. Our leadership team is committed to fostering a company culture that values collaboration, support, and community. We believe that real wellness should be accessible and empowering for everyone, and we’re proud to bring that mission to every product we create.
Community-Driven Wellness Since 2016
Overcoming early hurdles, Proof Hemp has grown from a small, family-founded company to an award-winning California CBD company trusted by customers across the country. We’ve stayed fiercely dedicated to quality, transparency, and the belief that everyone deserves wellness products they can trust.
All Proof hemp products are THC-free, rigorously tested, vegan, gluten-free, sugar free, and cruelty free—so you can feel confident in every drop, every roll-on, and every pet formula.
That commitment to quality starts with what goes into every product, see our approach to testing and sourcing to learn how we put it into practice.
Why Proof Hemp Is Different
We’re more than just a wellness company—we’re a community. Our compassionate approach, reliable products, and authentic story set us apart from the crowd. You’ll never find us chasing trends or sounding clinical. We are here to support your wellness journey with honesty, care, and a genuine connection to our California roots.
From our family to yours, thank you for making Proof Hemp your trusted partner in plant-based wellness.
